Big C had Scarecrow Day at school today. I saw these on Family Fun and we whipped up a batch. They're easy and super-cute! As you can see, we changed a few ingredients to fit what we had on hand.:) So, have fun using up all that trick-or-treat candy & Happy Halloween!Scarecrow CookiesIngredients:round Cookies (I made sugar cookies and cut them out with a drinking glass)1 can White frostingAssorted sugar wafers (about 2 1/2 inches long)Candy cornM & M's candies or Chocolate chipsBran cereal (such as All-Bran) or Shredded WheatLicorice Strings

Directions:Frost the top of each cookie. Cut a sugar wafer in half. Add a dollop of frosting to the top edge of the cookie and stick a wafer half to it for a hat top. Place a whole sugar wafer just below the hat top for a brim. Add a small licorice piece for hat trim. Press pieces of Shredded Wheat hair into the frosting around the hat. For the face, press on a candy corn nose, M & M eyes, and a licorice string mouth.

Oh I always seem to come here when I am hungry!!! You are so creative and clever. Do you think you would like to adopt a very mature child? I promise I would eat everything on my plate (and more than likely on everyone elses too!).
